Infuse Asset Management stated the following regarding NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA) in its Q4 2024 investor letter:

“We do still own some NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA) as the forward multiple isn’t egregious and it powers over 90% of AI workloads. This company is only becoming increasingly important though the hyperscalers are actively trying to save money through their own ASIC programs. The moat CUDA provides has been underestimated time and time again. While I don’t think Nvidia has quite the upside as some of the other companies in the portfolio, it has a product that the best companies in the world literally can’t get enough of.”
